Europe\'s Airbus launched a plan to convert A330 long-haul passenger planes to freighter aircraft as it forecast strong growth in cargo demand driven by expanding global trade.
The conversion programme, to be carried out in partnership with Singapore-based ST Aerospace, a unit of Singapore Technologies Engineering, bows to demand from airlines and cargo companies that had called for more options in addition to popular mid-sized converted 767 jetliners from Boeing.
